OurFamilyWizard

OurFamilyWizard MCP

A Model Context Protocol server that connects Claude to OurFamilyWizard, giving you natural-language access to your co-parenting messages, calendar, expenses, and journal.

[!WARNING] AI-developed project. This codebase was entirely built and is actively maintained by Claude Sonnet 4.6. No human has audited the implementation. Review all code and tool permissions before use.

What you can do

Ask Claude things like:

• "Show me my recent OFW messages"
• "What's on the kids' calendar next week?"
• "List recent expenses and tell me what I owe"
• "Add a journal entry about today's pickup"
• "Draft a reply to the last message from my co-parent"

Requirements

• Claude Desktop
• Node.js 22.5 or later (node:sqlite is the cache backend)
• An active OurFamilyWizard account

Acknowledgement of Terms

By using this MCP server, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. This server accesses your own OurFamilyWizard account. Auth happens via your own credentials. It does not — and cannot — access your co-parent's account, your children's accounts, or anyone else's.

2. OurFamilyWizard's Terms govern your use of this server, just as they govern your direct use of OFW. There is no explicit anti-scraping clause; the governing language is broader:

Users may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available.

And on credentials: "You are solely responsible for (1) maintaining the strict confidentiality of assigned Authentication Methods, (2) instructing any individual to whom the assigned Authentication Method is shared ('Authorized User') to not allow another person to use the Authentication Method." OFW does contemplate "Authorized Users" and third-party-enabled integrations — but the account holder remains responsible.

You are agreeing to those terms — read by the maintainer 2026-05-23 — every time you invoke a tool in this server.

3. Personal, family use only. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in partnership with OurFamilyWizard, LLC or its parent. It is a personal automation tool for the named account holder. Do not use it on behalf of a co-parent without their consent, do not share credentials with anyone, and do not use it to bulk-extract another family's data.

4. OFW is a court-of-record platform. Messages, expenses, calendar entries, and journal entries on OFW may be entered into legal proceedings — including custody, divorce, and parenting-plan-modification cases. Anything this server writes to OFW (drafts you save, events you create, expenses you log) will appear with the same legal weight as if you had typed it yourself. Do not let this MCP send a message, create an event, or log an expense that you have not read and approved. Review every write operation before confirming.

5. You accept full responsibility for any consequences — both technical (account warnings, suspension) and legal (anything OFW records about your account activity). The MCP author is not your attorney; if you're using OFW in connection with an active legal matter, talk to your actual attorney before automating anything.

This section is the maintainer's good-faith summary of the terms — it is not legal advice and does not modify or supersede OurFamilyWizard's actual ToS.

Installation

1. Clone and build

git clone https://github.com/chrischall/ofw-mcp.git
cd ofw-mcp
npm install
npm run build

2. Add to Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the ofw entry inside "mcpServers" (create the key if it doesn't exist):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ofw": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/ofw-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "OFW_USERNAME": "[email protected]",
        "OFW_PASSWORD": "your-ofw-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /absolute/path/to/ofw-mcp with the actual path where you cloned the repo. On Mac, run pwd inside the cloned directory to get it.

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Quit completely (Cmd+Q on Mac, not just close the window) and relaunch.

4. Verify

Ask Claude: "What does my OFW dashboard look like?" — it should show your unread message count, upcoming events, and outstanding expenses.
